Did a little painting

[CrawlinTBSS]

well was bored yesterday since it was nice out i decided to do some painting. i was bored of the silver front end with a black bowtie. i wanted more black to go with the wheels and shit. so i did a photoshop awhile back with blacked out grills and decided to try it out cause it was growing on me. comments welcome.. i could careless if anyone hates it or not. to each thier own. i like it.

gloss black bowtie, and brake ducts. flatblack main grill. might do the lower valance between the ducts still. not sure yet.

With a rattle can? I think a silver bowtie would stand out more.

I'd have glossed the whole grill to match the wheels and painted the bowtie to match the body.

Still tho, I like where you're going with it!

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

yeah its all hand rattle can. i take my time. 3 coats of each so i dont get heavy over spray.

i thought about gloss grill but seemed like to much shine/ looks like i stole a black SS grill.

im thinking about the silver bowtie or a CF bowtie that someone one tbssowners is working on.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I would have had a professional do it. I like the idea though.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Maybe with a silver bow tie. It just kinda looks like you don't have a grill from far away

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

yeah the pictures didnt come out well. it was cloudy n about to store when i took the pics so they came out darker.

it looks much better in person and you can tell theres a grill there. doesnt look like its missing or anything.

 

[SuperDaveGSE]

Satin black would have looked better IMO, but still I like it. It gives the front clip a fatter look to it.

I am diggin it...but I do agree about changing the bow tie color. Other than that, nice job

 

[SinisterSHO]

I like it from an angle, but not straight on. I think the bottom section between the brake (air?) ducts should be black too

 

[Dan00Hawk]

I like it along with the increased "Get the hell outta my way factor" that will influence slower drivers when they notice you in their mirror.

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

i thought about the bottom valance.

heres the PS i had done before any painting was done. still may do the lower valance.

 

[Mook]

hmm, i like that.

 

[IDAFC21]

i too, like that.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

I like that wai it looks in the PS, but not with a rattle can. I still say have it done professionally and either gloss black or silver bowtie.

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

whats the difference with "Proffesional"? its flat black.. comes out either way. only difference is they would mix a clear addative to the flat with a true painting setup. oh well. i can repaint it whatever i want , when i want. paint came out great for rattle can. ive painted all my own stuff, no runs or overspray. take your time and do it right.

im thinking of doing the lower valance now.... helps tie the black at the bottom in more.

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Because I can tell its rattle can. Thats the first thing I asked... and I wouldnt take a rattle can to a brand new truck. just my .02

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

its 5 years old... not very new. lol

 

[99PONTIACGP]

Just as old as my car. Either way, I like the idea you have.

 

[firemandan1700]

Looks nice. The lower vailence looks fine how you have it now. I do agree the bowtie should have been flatblack as well or, just pop out the bowtie and fill it in and make it look like one solid piece

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I like the lower valence as is too

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

yeah im kinda iffy with it. ill probably leave it as is, because the front plate hangs and covers half of it already anyway.

Yah im going to change the bowtie. Its just black from when it originally was painting. Looking into a CF bowtie that someone makes on the tbss forums. they got CF brake ducts and rear valance....shit aint cheap tho.

 

[SinisterSHO]

Remove front plate

It looks fine for being rattle can. Just wait a month and paint the lower valance, post new pics and say you got it professionally done and I bet no one will notice.

 

[CrawlinTBSS]

ehh id remove the plate but ive been pulled over so many times in the ville for no plates with my stang. they love any reason to pull you over to search you around here.

and the neighbor across the street is a naperville sheriff. He dont bother me as long as i drive slow around there.
